"Maybe arrived with overly high expectations based on (currently) a 4.8 stars rating on Maps, but my meal was entirely mediocre. I arrived for an early weekday lunch and walked to an empty restaurant. No one behind the counter, only a few noises from the kitchen. I yelled Hello? a few times until 5 minutes later, someone finally showed up. Interactions with the server remained far and few between. Out of the dishes I ordered, the pork bao were unavailable, so I got the Guotie instead. Additionally, I got the Xiao Long Bao. Presentation was nice enough, and the quality did seem fine (not frozen), but it certainly didn 't scream made in-house to me. The guotie were nicely spiced, steaming hot, but not very crispy. The filling was flavorful, fatty, well spiced and sour. The black sesame on top was a nice touch. The Xiao Long Bao were fine, but the broth had very little flavor and texture. Certainly not as bone brothy as I know them from other places. The skin texture had very little bite. The nangua bing for dessert were fine. Not crispy, quite greasy, not quite hot all the way through, so obviously the frying oil wasn 't hot enough. Overall, a total disappointment, especially for the price. A fine meal, but nothing to go out of your way for."
